Individuals & Families

If you currently hold an individual policy, it will be changing in 2014. New plans will take effect in January 2014 and may or may not be similar to what you currently have. You will have the option of purchasing a new plan inside or outside the exchange and you may qualify for a subsidy inside the exchange. Certain individuals and families will be eligible for subsidies to help offset the cost of health insurance premiums. These premium tax credits can either be used to lower the cost of your monthly premiums or be collected as a lump sum on your federal income tax return. A family of four could earn up to approximately $98,000 a year and still qualify. Not only will your new health insurance be affordable, but it will be guaranteed to offer a basic foundation of coverage so you no longer have to purchase additional add-ons for essential care like maternity care or mental health and substance abuse services.

Large Businesses

In 2014, businesses with 50 or more full time equivalent employees (FTEs) will now be required to provide a basic level of insurance to these employees. There are calculations to determine how many FTEs you have, calculations to determine if you should “pay or play,” measuring periods if you have part-time or seasonal employees, calculators to determine if your plan meets the minimum requirement for essential benefits, etc. And as with small businesses, larger employers also have changes in eligibility requirements and required documents to provide to their employees. Now, more than ever, it is critical to keep accurate records on employee work hours to ensure compliance with the new health care law.
